Brazier Newlands

Newlands and Brazier are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Residents are far older in Brazier, where the typical person is 58, compared to 50 in Newlands. Brazier has a far higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week (22.2% versus 10.4%) and typical monthly home-loan payments are far higher by $999. Newlands has a much higher proportion of people doing unpaid housework (43.8%) and caring for children unpaid (30.2%), which is consistent with the area having more children under 15.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, with the same number of schools nearby and identical figures for people per home.

While both areas are far older than the national figure, the gap in typical age between them has remained a notable difference.
